Luxembourg has ambitions to legalize recreational cannabis and convince other European countries to do the same.

Sure, you can already pick up some weed in the coffee shops of Amsterdam or in Catalonia’s decriminalized cannabis social clubs. You won’t be arrested for carrying a few grams in countries such as Belgium.

Luxembourg, however, wants to go further and become the first country in the European Union to make cannabis completely legal. Its health ministry is slated to unveil a proposal to start the legislative process this fall, and the goal is for it to become law within two years.

If that happens, Luxembourg will join a small but growing list of countries — Canada, Uruguay and 11 U.S. states — reversing decadeslong drug policies that saw the substance banned and people jailed for violations.

One of the main advocates is Health Minister Etienne Schneider, who cites health reasons as the most important driver. He said young people are already getting weed on the black market, coming into contact with drug dealers who provide cannabis of unknown quality, and getting access to more potentially dangerous drugs.
